This is an AngularJS development environment that is based on the Pluralsight course: "Building a JavaScript Development Environment" on Pluralsight, and more specifically this repo: coryhouse/javascript-development-environment.
- Install Node 6. Need to run multiple versions of Node? Use nvm or nvm-windows
- Install Yarn.
- Clone this repository. -
git clone git@github.com:Matt-Dionis/javascript-development-environment.gitor download the zip - Make sure you're in the directory you just created. -
cd javascript-development-environment - Install Node Packages. -
yarn - Run the app. -
npm start -sThis will run the automated build process, start up a webserver, and open the application in your default browser. When doing development with this kit, this command will continue watching all of your files. Every time you hit save the code is rebuilt, linting runs, and tests run automatically. Note: The -s flag is optional. It enables silent mode which suppresses unnecessary messages during the build. - Having issues? See below.
- Run
yarn- If you forget to do this, you'll see this:babel-node: command not found. - Make sure you're running the latest version of Node. Or, use Node 6.9.1 if you're having issues on Windows. Node 7 has issues on some Windows machines.
- Make sure files with names that begin with a dot (.babelrc, .editorconfig, .eslintrc) are copied to the project directory root. This is easy to overlook if you copy this repository manually.
- Don't run the project from a symbolic link. It will cause issues with file watches.
- Having linting issues? Delete any .eslintrc that you're storing in your user directory. Also, disable any ESLint plugin / custom rules that you've enabled within your editor. These will conflict with the ESLint rules defined in the course.
- Nothing above work? Delete your node_modules folder and re-run
yarn.
